Police in Australia have opened an investigation into allegations made by actress Ruby Rose against singer Katy Perry, relating to an alleged incident said to have occurred in 2010.
Authorities in the state of Victoria confirmed that detectives from a specialised unit handling sexual offences are examining claims of a historical assault reported to have taken place at a venue in central Melbourne. Officials noted that inquiries are ongoing and declined to provide further details at this stage.
The investigation follows recent social media statements by Rose, who alleged that the incident happened at a nightclub during a visit to Melbourne over a decade ago. The claims surfaced in response to an unrelated online discussion but were not accompanied by publicly available evidence.
In response, representatives for Perry strongly rejected the allegation, describing it as entirely untrue and cautioning against the spread of unverified claims.
Rose later indicated that she had formally submitted her account to law enforcement authorities and would refrain from further public commentary while the matter is under investigation, citing standard procedural requirements.
Reports indicate both individuals were in Melbourne around the time of the alleged incident and had attended a venue within the city’s central district.
The case remains under active investigation, with no official findings released so far.
